"I'm sure you've made tons of changes since writing this post, but the site looks great now! If you ever have any "how do I do X in Wordpress" questions, feel free to shoot them my way. =]" - Lisa Brewster
"You are absolutely right. I'd never heard that word before and got applicable results when I googled that spelling. Thanks for the correction!" - Lisa Brewster
"I don't think Wakoopa's designed to be that detailed of a productivity monitor, but you do present a good point. I found and installed Pageaddict for Firefox, and will start posting domain breakdowns next week." - Lisa Brewster
"If Wakoopa had this image in an RSS feed, I could automate it...but unfortunately I have to cut it out of my weekly status email and post by hand." - Lisa Brewster
"And please let me know if I'm way off base here, since I haven't seen anyone else on twitter waving a red 1984-esque flag (haven't read too many other blog posts yet rather than Messina's that I quoted earlier)." - Lisa Brewster
"Rob, I'm a huge sticker fan myself, but I realized the other day that I've never used a single sticker from StartupSchwag. If it's not something I'd want to put on my laptop, I'd rather not even include it in the bags. I'm going to start sourcing one or two super nifty die cut or clear film stickers (or a button?) instead of trying to include so many different companies. Don't get me wrong, we love and appreciate every company that has ever been kind enough to participate in the schwagging, but it's time to address the fact that we're not fulfilling what you guys want. Getting the "other branded items" is a whole different beast, since most startups can't afford to print up that much stuff. As Roddy says below, "we're working on it," but this has definitely been the hardest demand to meet. Regarding our latest shirts...all the feedback (that I heard, anyway) on the Pownce shirt was that it was the best one we ever sent out, and although I'm not a fan of the color of the Friendfeed..." - Lisa Brewster
"You should never completely stifle yourself to save ruffling someone else's feathers. If writing openly about your relationships stresses you so much, perhaps you could start password protecting your posts, or (and I almost loathe to suggest it) start a private livejournal where it's easier to control who has access. I definitely don't want you to stop writing!
And if you haven't seen it, this post on the extremely public breakup of Chris Messina and Tara Hunt might really open your eyes on what it means to be open: http://www.sanfranmag.com/stor..." - Lisa Brewster
CafePress is more like Web 1.0 schwag... (not that it's bad or anything, we use it, but it's a bit dated...) - lilbyrdie
Jeremiah, you should ping @adora over at Twitter. - Jauder Ho

Kevin, CafePress is great at branded items. /louisgray and /friendfeed are good examples. But I think Jeremiah meant the Startup Schwag route. CafePress does a lot more than Web 2.0 gear. - Louis Gray
This handy commenting system has kept me here, so tweet might have sealed the deal *err sorry @Nicole I forgot the "snoozing" and "group clustering" in Version 5.0 *wink ...via AlertThingy - Stefan Asemota
I can't figure out why they didn't just go ahead and include support for reading your Twitter stream in this one. Great turnaroud time on adding Twitter support, though. ...via AlertThingy - Jeremy Herbel
I'm really enjoying this! ...via AlertThingy - Mike Lewis
I'd love it if links were clickable too ...via AlertThingy - Jeremy Herbel
I had both apps running (twhirl and alertthingy)...now just alertthingy, twhirl look out indeed... ...via AlertThingy - champhuet
The last thing I need is another thing to flood me with updates. If Alert Thingy or someone else doesn't create a great filtering engine soon, I'm going to go postal. ...via AlertThingy - Lisa Brewster
I like commenting in line, but I need to see my entire Tweet follow/follower list before I drop Twirl. Will run both for a while. ...via AlertThingy - James Urquhart
Alert Thingy is far more attractive than Twirl. Agree with others that being able to see entire Twitter stream would be nice. ...via AlertThingy - Neal Hohman
I don't really think it's a threat. I enjoy seeing my twitter feed on Twhirl and getting more periodic updates from Alert Thingy ...via AlertThingy - Teresa Valdez Klein
But don't we need to factor in all the screen space these app's take up? Window switching is becoming more and more challenging. ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
Don't get me wrong, I love these Air app's, but asking them to display too much will make them pretty damn huge ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
@ImJustCreative exactly. Between Twitterific, Alert Thingy, Adium, and chats I've lost a whole monitor. Hopefully Alert Thingy will eliminate the need to have Twitterific open soon. ...via AlertThingy - David Klein
adding more info you will ideally need more columns, rather than just straight down, otherwise way too unreadable ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
Agreed, I may have to stop using Twhirl at this rate! ...via AlertThingy - Craig Dalton
poor loic...seemed like such a great little buy ...via AlertThingy - AJ Arora
Like I said before, I guess I don't need Twhirl anymore. ...via AlertThingy - Cesar H Castro Jr
over/under on days until alert thingy integrates twitter streams? i'll go for 3 ...via AlertThingy - Samuel Bostock
It'd be nice if AlertThingy had a "hide comments" link that would show up after you do a "show all comments", so you could compactify things again after you were done reading. For that matter, it'd be nice for the web interface to have that, too. :) ...via AlertThingy - felix
No matter how this plays out, the big winner here is AIR. Playing host to all the most popular desktop Web 2.0 service clients is an enviable position. ...via AlertThingy - Teresa Valdez Klein
@felix I have longed for that since day one. I figured it would eventually show up since it was such an obvious feature. - Jeremy Herbel
Not sure I'm ready to give up twirl yet. One thing re:AlertThingy; it's popped up the alert for this post about ten times as if it were a new post. Is that a bug? ...via AlertThingy - Jandy Stone
twhirl no worries until you can monitor and respond to twitter streams ...via AlertThingy - amarquart
@faithx5 just letting you know the entry has a new comment or like. ...via AlertThingy - Phil Ashman
@faithx5 everytime there's a new comment it pops up the original message and not the comment ...via AlertThingy - Hernan Garcia
@Phil & Hernan I wondered if that was what was happening. You should be able to turn that off, or have it show the comment instead. Thx for the replies. ...via AlertThingy - Jandy Stone
Like that you can finally change the horrible original theme ... ...via AlertThingy - Patrick Jordan
Someone who is subscribed to loads of people should work out what % of comments are coming from Alert Thingy these days. - Samuel Bostock
